Biography: 

Bertold Hummel was born on November 27, 1925 in Hüfingen (Baden). From 1941 to 1954, he studied at the Music Academy in Freiburg i. Breisgau, taking composition with Harald Genzmer and violoncello with Atis Teichmanis. After his studies he toured from 1954 to 1956 as composer and as cellist. From 1956 until 1963, Hummel was choirmaster in Freiburg i. Brsg. and worked as a freelancer in radio with Südwestfunk Baden-Baden, before being named teacher of composition at the state conservatory in Würzburg in 1963. From 1963 to 1988 he directed the Studio for New Music, Würzburg, and in 1974 he became a professor. From 1979 to 1987 he was President of the Music Academy in Würzburg (after 1988 its Honorary President) and from 1982 Member of the Bavarian Academy of the Fine Arts. He lectured as a guest and travelled to performances of his works in Europe, in the USA, South America, Canada, CIS, Japan, Australia, Egypt and South Africa. Bertold Hummel died in Würzburg on the August 9, 2002.

"I feel a relationship between my thinking and that of A. Berg and O. Messiaen. The "cantus firmus" thinking of P. Hindemith and of my teacher H. Genzmer as well their spontaneous joy in music-making have repeatedly made an impression on me. My teacher J. Weismann captivated me with his impressionistic musical fantasy as well as his rich harmonic resources and formal unity. I have never included myself amongst the avant-garde! I have indeed always followed the experimental work of my colleagues with great interest and made use of one or the other solution for my own work. I therefore see an opportunity in our present situation for a mental reprocessing of the many new discoveries — almost a kind of synthesis of the very varied impulses around us. My love for tradition and for meaningful (seen subjectively) progress has always marked my musical language. This is probably the key to the international success of my works."
